Admin page menu doesn’t work [solved]

I would really appreciate the help here as the entire reason I’m looking for something new is due to my current applications support sucks....

I used the full version and had the same problem. Replacing Head.php with the version posted worked for me, but I had other problems as well. So I deleted everything and started over, but instead used the installer. Everything worked perfectly after that.

v2uk Total Posts: 56 Joined: 2008-03-23 Ignore user	I’m having the exact same problem, I downloaded the full .zip version > extracted > installed > install went fine, but the admin menu has js errors all over it, making it impossible to use. I’ve tried using the Head.php file attached above, but it didn’t fix the problem for me. I’m uploading the 4meg installer at the moment to see if this resolves the problem Available on freenode irc #magento if anyone else has problems etc.

jvalen Total Posts: 54 Joined: 2007-12-12 Los Angeles Ignore user	Moshe - 21 March 2008 09:22 AM For admin menu problem, please replace app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Html/Head.php with attached file I replaced the the head.php with the one suggested by Moshe but i am still having the same problem. I’m able to install and log into admin panel correctly but i have no access because when i click the buttons nothing happens. Hopefully there will be a fix soon. Any suggestions from others? I should also note that there is no “admin” directory in my root folder where magento is installed. i have to enter http://www.domainname.com/index.php/admin in order to access admin panel. Where as i used to use http://www.domainname.com/admin. is this the same for others? Signature Converting to Magento BarbieIsOut

v2uk Total Posts: 56 Joined: 2008-03-23 Ignore user	I got it working by downgrading to the previous version, none of the fixes above worked for me, and with a stable release apparently coming no later than 31st of this month, I suspect there won’t be a fix prior to then but will instead be fixed in the 1.0 stable version in a weeks time.

scend Total Posts: 14 Joined: 2008-02-20 Ignore user	This worked for me (temporary fix); Download the patch file. Change (line 98) `#$lines[$if]['other'][] = sprintf($script, $baseJs.$item['name'], $item['params']); $lines[$if]['script'][] = $item['name'];` to this (basically swap the # from one line to the other); `$lines[$if]['other'][] = sprintf($script, $baseJs.$item['name'], $item['params']); #$lines[$if]['script'][] = $item['name'];` and then this (line 127); `foreach ($this->getChunkedItems($items['script'], $baseJs.'proxy.php?c=auto&f;=') as $item) { $html .= sprintf($script, $item, '')."\n"; } // foreach (array_chunk($items['script'], 15) as $chunk) { // $html .= sprintf($script, $baseJs.'proxy.php/x.js?f='.join(',',$chunk), '')."\n"; // }` to this (swap the comments over); // foreach ($this->getChunkedItems($items['script'], $baseJs.'proxy.php?c=auto&f;=') as $item) { // $html .= sprintf($script, $item, '')."\n"; // } foreach (array_chunk($items['script'], 15) as $chunk) { $html .= sprintf($script, $baseJs.'proxy.php/x.js?f='.join(',',$chunk), '')."\n"; } It basically inserts each javascript file individually as the proxy method doesn’t seem to work for everyone. Hopefully the next version will fix the issue.

mayerwin Total Posts: 160 Joined: 2008-01-15 France Ignore user	Ok guys! I found the trick! I was on 3iX and it has to do with files and folder permissions! (it was not resolved by the 1.0 release) Using filezilla, I changed recursively all files permissions to 644 and 755 for folders (which took some time as you may imagine), and right after, everything worked fine! I wouldn’t have imagined this if I hadn’t a 500 error after extracting the installer using my webhosting online file manager. The index.php file and the folders didn’t have the right permissions, which caused this error. So when I saw after installing that there was a Javascript problem (with seemingly like missing scripts), I thought the same solution would work. And it did! So I hope this will help you a lot to definitely have pleasure with Magento. I would suggest to specify in the Installation tutorial not to say that 777 rights are the bests, because in my case my server produced errors due to too many rights granted. Enjoy!

(it was not resolved by the 1.0 release) Using filezilla, I changed recursively all files permissions to 644 and 755 for folders (which took some time as you may imagine), and right after, everything worked fine! Thanks for that piece of info! I think this should be checked for during the install. If you can ssh into your server, here’s the command to do this recursively (from within the base directory of all the magento files): `find ./ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; && find ./ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;` Takes a couple of seconds maximum PS: I was having this problem for the 1.0 install as well.

Like, what ssh into the server means and how to do it? IMHO, since this problem is still present in v..1.0, HAS to be corrected as soon as possible, not left to the Magento users to fiddle with the code!
